EMPANADAS WITH CHIPOTLE RANCH DIPPING SAUCE #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. I started making these empanadas when my children were very young and we were always on the go - from school to after school events, from the library to the ski hill, to long drives for family vacations; they are as easy to make as they are portable - a homemade meal, not junk or fast food. These empanadas are fragrant, moist, full of flavor and very adaptable to what you have on hand. We have found that they are just as good as a simple weeknight meal at the dinner table as they are on the fly.

Steps:
- For filling:
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork, serrano chili, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and allspice to skillet and stir 3 minutes. Add raisins and lime juice; boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in almonds and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Cool.
- For dough:
- Butter 2 large baking sheets. Mix flour, Masa Harina, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Stir in melted butter. Whisk water and 1 egg in small bowl to blend. Add to flour mixture; knead in bowl until smooth pliable dough forms, about 2 minutes. Working with half of dough at a time, roll out on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Using 3 3/4-inch-diameter biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. Reroll scraps and cut out additional rounds for a total of 12 rounds per dough half.
- Whish remaining egg in small bowl to blend. Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of each dough round. Lightly brush edges with egg. Fold dough over, pressing edges with fork to seal. Place on prepared baking sheets. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap; chill.)
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush empanadas with beaten egg. Bake until light golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve with Chipotle Salsa and sour cream.

- Empanada fillings can vary widely, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients. Some popular fillings include ground beef, chicken, vegetables, and cheese.
- To ensure your empanadas are cooked evenly, make sure to seal them well before frying or baking.

- Serve your empanadas with a dipping sauce, such as the chipotle ranch sauce provided in the recipe.
